Been getting root canal done at a student establishment. Wanted to ask if Trendelenburg position is normal for root canal procedures. My head starts to ache real bad near the end of the appointment and it feels like blood is pooling in my neck behind my ears. I am then returned to normal position and "given a break". I just wanted to ask if this kind of thing is normal because its very uncomfortable later on. Head below the body seems like a thing that could hurt a person if its done for 2hrs 30 mins. But I don't know about dentistry hence I ask here. Thank you for your time.
 
It's down to the operator's preference, nothing abnormal about it though.
